Ancelotti enjoys Carnival in Salvador, hears calls to recall Neymar | OneFootball

Carlo Ancelotti joined the festivities and made an appearance at the Salvador carnival this Friday. Among the attractions was singer Léo Santana, who interacted with the coach of the Brazilian National Team and requested Neymar's call-up.

“For us, it's an honor to have you at our carnival. To have you bringing all your experience and maturity to our Brazilian National Team. Thank you so much for being here. It's really worth believing that the sixth title will come under Ancelotti's command,” said Léo Santana.

“Oh, one more thing, Ancelotti. Put Neymar in this Brazilian National Team, for the love of God. I couldn't miss this chance,” the singer added.

Besides Léo, singer Bell Marques also sent a message to the coach: “Ancelotti, a hug! Good luck with the National Team that's coming up. It depends on you, huh?”

Ancelotti landed in Salvador at the end of the morning and went straight to a hotel, which is also located on the carnival circuit. The Italian coach is in a reserved area inside a sponsor's VIP box. From the balcony of the space, he watches the electric trios passing by on the street.
